TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! For almost a year, right-wing extremist podcaster Candace Owens has hosted the fastest-growing right-wing podcast. That growth looks like it’s slowing considerably, according to TheRighting’s latest quarterly report on right-wing podcasters being released today. My guess is that audiences are finally turning away from her outrageously offensive commentary...Dept. of Irony: Congress is ancient and someone needs to make sure they are fit to serve, observes 96-year-old NY Post columnist Cindy Adams in her most recent column...The conservative Victory Girls blog gives a big thumbs down to the late Lindsey Graham’s sister running for his six-year Senate seat in the midterms representing South Carolina. “It’s flat corruption,” hisses Victory Girls, calling Darline Graham Nordone a “nepo sister (who) wants full Senate term grift”... Don’t blame Canada: The right-leaning Free Press makes the case that we shouldn’t blame our northern neighbor for the forest fire smoke blanketing parts of the United States.  Part of the problem, as The Free Press points out, is that Canada is home to the world’s largest boreal forest.

Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) “worse than a Democrat” for her opposition to Trump’s (SAVE) America Act....Kai Trump, the president’s 19-year-old granddaughter who is a competitive golfer, has “six-pack” abs according to Fox News, which ran a photo to prove its point. It’s clear from the image she’s not sharing burgers and fries with her Big Mac-munching grandpa every night...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

But the rite instead summons a dark presence.

Trump may yet decide on the biggest gamble of his presidency.
